The workshops were held at the local film initiative UnCut by a lecturer from the Royal Institute of Art, during which young filmmakers and art students learnt to work with video mapping as they explored the various aesthetic, narrative and/or representational aspects of the medium.
The aim of the pilot study is to activate the neighborhood on several levels. A permanent large-scale work was produced on an industrial facade in Hagalund. In daylight, the painting resides in its own aesthetic completeness. When night falls a beam of light protrudes through the darkness and animates the fanciful figures on the wall. The mural painting undergoes a transformation.
The Hagalund industrial park is a priority neighbourhood for development, and Solna municipality and the building proprietors of Humlegården are working intensively to establish activities conducive to a favourable development of the area. The work was displayed on the rear facade of Gelbgjutarevägen 7 in Hagalund.
The pilot study addressed how a former industrial park can be vitalized through the embodiment of local creativity in contemporary artistic expression. This includes designing a context whereby young people can create, discover, challenge and influence. In visualizing new sides of one’s own back yard, discussions open up regarding future prospects and opportunities.
